Tonight's dinnerSouthwest kale salad.Kale, black beans, corn, grape tomatoes, crumbled tofu, and toasted pumpkin seeds with an avocado chipotle lime dressing.345 calories, 12.5g fat, 29g carb, and 20g protein. Delicious!Also made a low carb chocolate protein pudding. It was good, but not great; I need to tweak the recipe a bit. Really though, at 44g of protein and only 6g carb, good but not great is good enough.

Evening CardioIt was a beautiful night, so I decided to do some walking outside instead of the treadmill.Walked 5.5 miles in about an hour and a half (flip-flops were a bad choice), which was good for 366 calories according to MapMyRun

Thanks, Robert!I figure I've got about 6-8 lbs to lose before I meet my goal, but it's been a fairly consistent and linear process thus far so I'm hopeful that I'll hit my target by the end of June (ideally by June 12th; my birthday). Instagram for Android just came out in April, so I'm still in the honeymoon phase... pic frequency might start to tapper off in a month or so

No cardio tonight. Too many chores to do around the house and I really need to get a few extra hours of sleep, so I think I'll head off to bed shortly.Cardio tomorrow at 5:00am and then looking forward to going heavy on chest/delts/tris in the evening!

Great workout tonight. Had an amazing pump that stayed with me for a good hour or so afterwards.

Downed 2 scoops of Vega chocolate Performance Protein in unsweetened almond milk immediately afterwards, then went out for sushi... kept it within reason, though; spinach salad, edamame, spicy agadeshi tofu, and a roll with soy beans and avocado in it... they call it the "Mr. Bean" roll.Total calories consumed for the day is just shy of 2265, so I'm at a deficit of about 175 calories... not much, but I've been averaging a daily deficit of roughly 1150 so far this week, so I think I'll be fine.

AM Cardio SessionTwo rounds of treadmill because my arm caught my headphone cable which pulled my cellphone off of it's perch and onto the treadmill and shooting off the end, so I slammed the Emergency Stop button... which apparently resets everything...

Treadmill:

Round 1: didn't get the summary screen, so roughly 16.5 minutes at:

Speed: 4.0 mph

Avg. grade: 5.0%

Calories: 125

Round 2:

Duration: 30 minutes

Avg. speed: 4.0 mph

Avg. grade: 6.5%

Calories: 267

Distance: 2 miles

Spend about 20 minutes in the sauna afterwards .Weighed in at 161 lbs... I think I'm holding some water from the sodium in the sushi last night.

Overall a pretty solid workout. I should have included one more back exercise, but I wanted to spend some time in the sauna and get back outside while it was still sunny; we haven't had weather like this for a while!
